| - | Science is constantly in a state of flux and the lines between biology, math, physics and chemistry are continually being redrawn. In the last decade, the life sciences revolution has continued to grow, but a new type of biology is on the horizon, a biology that not only understands how DNA holds the information to construct biological machines; but a biology that calls on other fields and is able to model, design and synthesize these machines from A’s C’s T’s and G’s. This is the new field of Synthetic Biology.

| - | ''"Can simple biological systems be built from standard, interchangeable parts and operated in living cells? Or, is biology simply too complicated to be engineered in this way?(1)"''

| - | The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is designed to answer this question. The challenge is to design and implement a machine capable of performing an engineered task, but in this case, the machines are transcribed from DNA sequences and the parts are DNA, proteins and cells. This interdisciplinary project bridges fields from biology through engineering and computer science and demonstrates how the future of science is a truly cross disciplinary field.
